To turn off incognito mode on a Chromebook, you can simply close the incognito window. This will end the incognito session and return you to your normal browsing experience.
If you want to exit incognito mode without closing the window, you can click on the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the browser and select "Exit incognito" from the dropdown menu.
Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + E to quickly exit incognito mode. This can be a helpful shortcut if you're in a hurry or need to quickly switch out of incognito mode.
